I was about to post a question about all standard-barrel Lugers seeming to shoot too high when I saw Herb's post on "Shooting Tests" noting that they were sighted in at some ridiculous range, but the problem remains.

In my experience, a standard barrel Luger shoots 6" to 8" high at 50ft. The simplest remedy would be a taller front sight (about 1/8" taller). I recall Hugh mentioned installing a Mauser rifle sight on guns he rebarrels to 6." I would like to know where one can get such a sight and what other sights or other measures (aside from Kentucky windage) can be employed to make a Luger shoot at point of aim at a normal range.
